 Window Frame Adjustment help So I have spent the past two years welding in new sheetmetal thorughout my bronco.
As I was fixing all the cancer, it became apparent to me that my bronco had been in previous accidents because the inner fenders were crumpled, the driver quarterpanel was bowed in (with bondo covering the carnage) and looks like it may have gently rolled over or ran into something on the top because the window frames are not straight (they have been massaged back into place by a previous owner).
Specifically on my passenger side door, the door fits well in the opening but the window frame interferes with the hard top.
Has anyone ever had to adjust the windowframe only? Mine are welded on (not bolted).
I am considering just cutting the corners to tweak it over and then re-weld in the new location.
Thoughts?
Chris

Re: Window Frame Adjustment help How is the gap between the bottom of the door and the rocker panel?

Re: Window Frame Adjustment help Place a spacer between the floor board and the body mount. Firewall is sagging?

Re: Window Frame Adjustment help Definitely post up some pics. Without pictures, I think we are all just guessing.

Re: Window Frame Adjustment help rt9 might be on to something....do you still have original body mounts? The old mounts can cause issues

Re: Window Frame Adjustment help Rt9,
Apologies, I didn't mean to be so dismissive. Things aren't exactly square, but that is due to all the repair guesswork I had to perform because of PO scab work
I'll take a look
Thanks
Chris
